- crepesMy experience at the restaurant was delicious! They offer a wide variety of crepes, and I was particularly impressed that they have a gluten-free crepe option that can be substituted for any of the delicious combinations on their menu.
- foodI stopped in for a quick brunch and was pleasantly surprised by how great the food was. We ordered the Crepe de dinde a lail (savory turkey) and the Crepe aux fraises chocolat (chocolate and strawberry).
- strawberry crepeThe strawberry crepe was huge and so delicious, just melted
- crepeMy wife had been craving Crepes, so we ordered a Strawberry, Nutella, and Whip Cream Crepe.
- Foodit was beyond DELICIOUS!!!
- coffeeI had the most amazing gluten-free crepes, and my husband absolutely loved his regular crepe too. The crepes and coffee were great, but what truly stood out was the amazing staff. I definitely recommend this place, whether you're a tourist or a local; it's worth a visit.
- portion sizeShe ordered the strawberry crepe and absolutely loved it. Her only minor issue was that it was very large, which meant I had to finish it, and I gladly did. Her only other negative feedback was that she felt it was a little expensive for what she received.

Frequently criticized
- crepesGiven the incredible ingredients available at the market, one might imagine a creperie here would be divine, perhaps offering a rotating menu of fresh, seasonal sweet and savory crepes, and utilizing French cheeses or jambon de France sourced from the market. Unfortunately, the reality did not live up to the fantasy. I found the food here uninspired and the service perfunctory.
- foodit's pretty discouraging to want to try the food.
- gluten-free optionsadvertise as having gluten free options but knowingly cross contaminate
- crepeHowever, my second experience with takeout was disappointing. They forgot key ingredients like Nutella and powdered sugar, and the crepe was poorly made. This inconsistency led me to change my rating.

- Nutellathere wasn't enough Nutella or batter for how many strawberries
- Nutella and powdered sugarforgot Nutella and powdered sugar
- SalmonThe mushrooms in the ham and Swiss crepe were very fresh, and the strawberry crepe was also good. However, it was disappointing that they were out of Salmon and the espresso machine was down during our visit.
- advertise as gluten freeincorrect to advertise as gluten free
- average qualityWhen I tried to order a plain tea, I was informed of a $5 minimum transaction, which felt unreasonable after already spending $40 on average food and a cup of pure sugar. This place is overpriced with average quality, and I would not return.
If you're craving a delicious, generously filled crepe made with fresh ingredients, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Just be mindful that some experiences mention blandness or issues with gluten-free availability, so manage your expectations accordingly.

- cashierThe atmosphere was initially cramped, but upon arrival, the reason became understandable. On a positive note, the service was great, with a friendly cashier and cook.
Frequently criticized
- serviceThis seems to be a recurring issue, as other people in line confirmed it happens every morning. Furthermore, the service was both slow and not friendly. Despite the poor service, the food quality was high.
- opening timeThe wait time was also excessive; it took 40 minutes to receive my single crepe, even with only 5-7 orders ahead of us. Additionally, they opened much later than posted and were not fully ready, still needing to wipe down counters upon opening.
- hoursYou need to update your hours if you keep closing early. This is the second time we've tried visiting your location and you were closed well before the published hours of business.
- waiting timetook them 40 minutes
- Gluten Free signwalk up to a handwritten No Gluten Free sign
- changeasked to change one thing on one of the options
- closing hoursThey close earlier than advertised, being closed at 5:00pm instead of 5:30pm.
- espresso machinethe espresso machine was down
- long linelong line meant wait times
- people's time and energyI traveled a ways to walk up to a handwritten 'No Gluten Free' sign. The easy solution is to not offer it and waste people's time and energy.
Overall, service here is a bit of a mixed bag. While youre likely to encounter friendly and efficient staff, be prepared for potential waits or occasional inconsistencies. If youre patient, the positive interactions often make it worthwhile.

Value (4.1 out of 10)
mentioned by 25% of the guests
When it comes to value, some diners found a silver lining, noting that while prices might seem a bit high, the generous serving sizes often mean you get a lot for your money. With a score of 4.1, the general sentiment leans towards average, but a few customers appreciated the good price-to-serving ratio and even the convenience of using digital yiftee Pike Place gift cards. However, the overall customer satisfaction for value sits at a rather low 17.6%, indicating significant room for improvement.
A much larger group of 24 opinions, compared to just 6 positive ones, frequently described the experience as pricey, expensive, and often an overpriced place, feeling they didn't get enough for what they paid. Many felt the prices were simply too steep.

- digital yiftee Pike Place gift cardsBefore a group departed, they thanked the staff and praised the crepes as good-tasting, which made me curious about what they had! They accept the digital yiftee Pike Place gift cards. Look for the Pike Place gift card offer in early December for savings!
- lot for your moneyMy experience at this crepe place in the heart of Pikes Place Market was quite positive. The crepes themselves were excellent, and while the prices are a little steep, they are also very large, so you get a lot for your money. It's a good option for a breakfast meal.

Frequently criticized

- moneyDon’t waste your money!!!
If youre looking for a substantial meal and dont mind potentially paying a bit more for quality, you might find the value acceptable. However, be prepared that many customers felt the prices were steep, so it might disappoint if you're on a tight budget or expect more for your dollar.

Curious about delicious crepes
My experience involved trying the strawberry crepe, which I believe was the highest priced sweet crepe. The atmosphere was quiet on a Friday morning at 10 AM. They also offer coffee and tea.
Before a group departed, they thanked the staff and praised the crepes as good-tasting, which made me curious about what they had! They accept the digital yiftee Pike Place gift cards. Look for the Pike Place gift card offer in early December for savings!

Delicious Crepes at Pike's Place
While exploring Pike's Place Public Market, I stumbled upon Crepe De France. I enjoyed both their sweet and savory crepes. The portions were big and full of flavor.
It's a must-try when you are in Seattle downtown.

Disappointing Crepe Experience
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. I ordered the crepe vegetarienne and found it to be bland. Additionally, the vegetables were cut into large pieces, which made it awkward to eat.
Given the price of $17, I would not recommend this dish.

Good, but not worth going out of the way
My experience was okay. It was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I was a little disappointed as we were told how amazing it was.
The strawberries weren’t quite ripe and there were way too many of them on the inside. We enjoyed it though. It was super busy when we went and there wasn’t a lot of seating.
I would eat here again but I wouldn’t go out of my way.
